FINAL Action Memo — 5-21-19
Clerk:
None
Staff:
Question 1: Should there be a commitment to the timing
of the "block 1 residential building in relationship to the
timing of the construction of the surface parking lot and
the "block 2" self storage building?
Staff Recommendation: A commitment that the block 1
building be commenced within 2 years of the issuance
of Certificate of Occupancy (CO) for any block 2
structure. Interim screening should be provided if the
block 2 CO is issued prior to the commencement of the
block 1 building.
The preference of the Commission would be that the
block 1 building be constructed first or concurrently with
the surface parking and block 2 building. However, there
was a recognition that enforcement of a time
commitment for the block 1 construction is challenging.
Most Commissioners were willing to accept a
to have the highest intensity of development
compromise for interim screening within block 1 that
with a mix of uses including residential,
would sufficiently screen the surface parking and block 2
commercial, retail, office, institutional and
storage building. Commissioners felt that the screening
employment uses. Buildings with heights of

including residential, commercial, retail,
office, institutional and employment uses.
Question 2: Should 15% affordable housing be provided

close to the street, with pedestrian access
and relegated parking.
The PC agreed with staffs recommendation and
(Rachel Falkenstein)
requested more information about what is meant by
"affordable".
Motion: NIA
More broadly speaking, Commissioners asked staff to
collaborate with the County Attorney's office to vet
possible tools for achieving affordable housing and other
Comp Plan goals and to explore ways to more clearly
articulate this information in future staff reports.
